#content-creation#blog#social-media#email#copywriting

Your content calendar has 15 pieces due this week and you've written zero. The blog post is half-drafted, the email campaign needs subject line variants, and someone just asked for 'a quick social post' that always takes two hours.

Who it's for: content marketers juggling multiple channels and deadlines, startup marketing teams of one wearing every hat, copywriters drafting high volumes of marketing collateral, marketing managers producing content for product launches, agency writers handling multiple client brands

Example

"Draft content for our product launch next week" → Blog announcement post, 5 social media variants (LinkedIn/Twitter/Instagram), launch email sequence (teaser + announcement + follow-up), landing page copy with headline A/B variants, and a customer case study outline

# Marketing Content Drafter

Generate marketing content drafts tailored to a specific content type, audience, and brand voice.

## Inputs

Gather the following from the user. If not provided, ask before proceeding:

1. **Content type** -- one of:
   - Blog post
   - Social media post (specify platform: LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook)
   - Email newsletter
   - Landing page copy
   - Press release
   - Case study

2. **Topic** -- the subject or theme of the content
3. **Target audience** -- who this content is for (role, industry, seniority, pain points)
4. **Key messages** -- 2-4 main points or takeaways to communicate
5. **Tone** -- e.g., authoritative, conversational, inspirational, technical, witty (optional if brand voice is configured)
6. **Length** -- target word count or format constraint (e.g., "1000 words", "280 characters", "3 paragraphs")

## Brand Voice

- If the user has a brand voice configured in their local settings file, apply it automatically
- If no brand voice is configured, ask: "Do you have brand voice guidelines you'd like me to follow? If not, I'll use a neutral professional tone."
- Apply the specified or default tone consistently throughout the draft

## Content Generation by Type

### Blog Post
- Engaging headline (provide 2-3 options)
- Introduction with a hook (question, statistic, bold statement, or story)
- 3-5 organized sections with descriptive subheadings
- Supporting points, examples, or data references in each section
- Conclusion with a clear call to action
- SEO considerations: suggest a primary keyword, include it in the headline and first paragraph, use related keywords in subheadings

### Social Media Post
- Platform-appropriate format and length
- Hook in the first line
- Hashtag suggestions (3-5 relevant hashtags)
- Call to action or engagement prompt
- Emoji usage appropriate to brand and platform
- If LinkedIn: professional framing, paragraph breaks for readability
- If Twitter/X: concise, punchy, within character limit
- If Instagram: visual-first language, story-driven, hashtag block

### Email Newsletter
- Subject line (provide 2-3 options with open-rate considerations)
- Preview text
- Greeting
- Body sections with clear hierarchy
- Call to action button text
- Sign-off
- Unsubscribe note reminder

### Landing Page Copy
- Headline and subheadline
- Hero section copy
- Value propositions (3-4 benefit-driven bullets or sections)
- Social proof placeholder (suggest testimonial or stat placement)
- Primary and secondary CTAs
- FAQ section suggestions
- SEO: meta title and meta description suggestions

### Press Release
- Headline following press release conventions
- Dateline and location
- Lead paragraph (who, what, when, where, why)
- Supporting quotes (provide placeholder guidance)
- Company boilerplate placeholder
- Media contact placeholder
- Standard press release formatting

### Case Study
- Title emphasizing the result
- Customer overview (industry, size, challenge)
- Challenge section
- Solution section (what was implemented)
- Results section with metrics (prompt user for data)
- Customer quote placeholder
- Call to action

## SEO Considerations (for web content)

For blog posts, landing pages, and other web-facing content:
- Suggest a primary keyword based on the topic
- Recommend keyword placement: headline, first paragraph, subheadings, meta description
- Suggest internal and external linking opportunities
- Recommend a meta description (under 160 characters)
- Note image alt text opportunities

## Output

Present the draft with clear formatting. After the draft, include:
- A brief note on what brand voice and tone were applied
- Any SEO recommendations (for web content)
- Suggestions for next steps (e.g., "Review with your team", "Add customer quotes", "Pair with a visual")
